Ok, I declared a win on the engine and predictably someone came back and said, “did you check the filter?”. Well I have now. I borrowed a Summit Racing oil filter cutter and took the filter apart. Nothing in there
BTW This was a Mahle OC54 filter. The type you can buy at Pelican Parts.

Actually, some of my most memorable drives have been at Dawn. This was four years ago in the Crown Range in Southern New Zealand. I’ve yet to find a way to get good engine sound recording so don’t give me hassles about the music.

It's between Queenstown and Wanaka. It is like the European mountain passes at the bottom, then has a faster section followed by a good climb. Going over the summit leads to a winding valley road. Lots of camper vans so best done at dawn. Here's the full run with no sound

I did more research on cutting the oil filter. Apparently the oil flows from outside to in, so I was right to use a specialist cutter that left no swarf, but it was pointless cutting up the filter paper to look inside. It's ok for a one time effort after a rebuild but the magnet on the drain plug will tell me enough in future so I'm not going to buy this tool.

John those videos are killing me! First off the roads and scenery are nothing short of amazing and on top of that- no traffic. Here in Japan we have some fun roads but at dawn the older generation of farmers are all out and about in their little farm trucks- typically at 25kph...
And- I haven't been able to drive for over 2 months now and it will be at least another 3 before the melting snow is not leaving the mountains roads wet every day.
Do do you have any more vids?

New Zealand roads are heaven - especially South Island, where about three people live. Have you seen video of Mike Whiddett drifting the Crown Range?
